If you have been keeping up with my entries, you already know that I usually post my sets in the order they were taken. You could it a slight OCD of mine. So with that let me tell you a little bit about this night and my coverage. For starters, I was insanely excited. Not only was I going to get a chance to check out Products of Rage, a tribute to Rage Against the Machine; they were opening in support of Hardwired, a Metallica tribute. Can you say this night was going to be a night to remember? 

Now, I have seen Products of Rage before on another night and they were fantastic, so I knew they were going to be good. What I was not expecting was all that energy, not just on stage but in the crowd as well. I mean everyone was amped up, myself included. Here I was with the Beast and my go-to 24-70mm lens attached thankful that I typically pack light which made navigating through the mosh pits much more navigable. It also makes it easier to work my way around the venue.

So from the side stage, the pit, and the back of the crowd, I buzzed about clicking my shutter and getting lost behind the lens. It’s such an amazing feeling, especially when you are rocking to some great music. All in all, I snapped about 1500 images, 600 or so of Products of Rage, and while I loved working on the post, I know that sharing all the images edited would be overkill. So I put together a small little collection that I posted up on my Facebook page and of course, I picked a top 5 to share with you here.

Let me know what you think. Oh and also important, if Products of Rage is ever in your town, stop in and check them out, especially if you are a Rage Against the Machine fan. These guys really do them justice.

I know it’s been a quick minute since I’ve posted some live music images and it’s for reasons of playing catch up. Yes, I have been busy behind the lens and unfortunately, that has meant a little absence here on my blog but let’s just say it is worth the wait. I have been covering lots of great bands and so that I can have some sort of order to this catch-up session, let’s start with the first. Products of Rage at Revolution Live. 

These guys were in direct support of the Linkin Park tribute, In The End and let’s just say they set it off right. I mean, how does one go wrong starting off the night with some amazing tracks from Rage Against The Machine? Especially with Rage themselves not stopping in South Florida this tour. I was not complaining. Not even when my little self got mixed into a mosh pit. Oops. Thankfully I packed light and was able to get out of the way quickly enough. 

The beast and I came out unscathed and I continued to shoot. It was such an energetic crowd fueled by the music and I was all about it. These guys were fantastic and one tribute I’ll be attending to again. But I digress, it’s on to the photos. First off, let me say that while I did share an insane amount of images with the band, I was able to cut it down significantly for the socials share. You have my top ten here though please feel free to view the full set on my Facebook page. So let me know what you think. 

There’s much more to see and do make sure you subscribe to my blog to keep up. As always, I appreciate your time.
